A load of unreleased Prince material is still waiting to see the light of day due to legal issues. Chaka may get around this because she is launching her own independent record label, called iKhan Sounds.

I hope that she gets to release it..

I consider all the collaborations he did in the past, that remain unreleased

as bequethements to the other musican.

He was always generous, and gave credit to everyone for what they did with or for him.

It's a tabloid. The kind people read for the 'sport'. But as stories go it's. It particularly titillating or scandalous so don't see that it would necessarily boost their figures much!

Well let's hope it's true then. If it is, I wonder when those sessions are from.

It'd be nice if she'd get to finally release her scrapped 1995 WB album, too. I believe only 3 tracks remain unreleased (the rest being scattered on Epiphany and various mid-90's soundtracks), but it'd be nice to have the whole thing.

Would them lawyers allow any unreleased recording that has anything from Prince in it be released for monetary gains without them profiting? Be it viq WB or otherwise?

Intellectual property is the $cam they utilize ad nauseam.

The only route that works is b00tz for this type of material.

.

So if the Chaka story has any merit to it then still I do give this little chance. (unless agreements were recorded on paper before his death)

-If she has the copyrights to the material she is in the clear. Look at Judith Hill she is able to sell her album on her website because he gave her the master tape and in her case those are her songs she has the copyright on. I think Primce may have given Chaka material they worked on in the past. If he did it shortly before he passed it is interesting.

Don't know if this story is credible or not. I'm sure there are unreleased recordings from Chaka and Prince that she owns as well as part of Prince's Vaults.

But, as her fans know, her track record over the past 20 years of keeping promises as far as releasing new music is concerned, hasn't been a good one. So even if she did actually say she has ownership of these recordings and plans on releasing them, I'm not going get my hopes up. Too many broken promises of albums and projects that have never came into fruition from Chaka.
